runpy performs basically that dance to implement _run_module_as_main(), so it's definitely possible. You just need to be careful with it, since whatever module you invoke is going to inherit the __main__ namespace. The implementation in runpy doesn't suffer that problem, since the interpreter imports it directly, rather than requiring it to bootstrap itself (/tangent: I think I may have just noticed a nasty corner case for PEP 395 to deal with...)
